As a first time cruiser, I am hoping to be on Oasis of the Seas in October. We have a 1 BR Aquatheater Suite (11330) and have a few questions. I have been reading reviews online and have watched a ton of Youtube videos but I still have some questions that I am hoping you can help me with. I know there are a lot, so I appreciate any assistance you can provide. TIA
1) Does room 11330 have a bathtub or just a shower? Unclear whether or not this changed after the amplification. It was my understanding that all suites had a bathtub, but I saw some videos that showed just a shower, so I am confused.
2) What is the Night 1 filet in Coastal Kitchen that I have read about?
3) Is the Suite Lounge worth going to on Embarkation Day? Do they have anything special there for while you wait for rooms to be ready?
4) I saw that Sky Class offers a tour of the bridge. Is this just of the bridge or is it the All Access Tour? The All Access Tour is on sale in the Cruise Planner, but I don't want to buy it if it is something that is included with the suite.
5) We purchased the Ultimate Dining Package. Will the concierge be able to make all meal reservations in advance or will they just make it for night 1 and then we have to make the rest when we get on board?
6) I love planning ahead for vacations. Is there any way to find out the daily activities in advance of the trip? What about the theme parties that will be on board, so I can pack accordingly.
7) Can you order sushi from Izumi to go? If so, do I have to go there in person to order or can it be ordered over the phone?
8) With the Ultimate Dining Package, is everything included or will upcharges still be applicable if they are listed on the menu (ie: lobster or Chops steak in MDR, seafood tower at Chops)?

Yes.  You can always order something from the MDR when dining in the Coastal Kitchen. BUT be very careful ordering “the lobster” when you are in the CK.  Be sure you ask for the MDR lobster tail b/c they have a lobster dish on the CK menu that is a rubbery, globby plop with nasty orange sauce.  It is NOT good and it is NOT a lobster tail.  It is also advisable, if you are going to order something from the MDR when in the CK, to let them know ahead of time so that they can have the food for you.  They usually have a supply of lobster tails on hand b/c they get that request frequently, but if you order something from the MDR on any other night, it takes them a while to go and fetch it from the MDR kitchen unless they get a heads up ahead of time.  We frequently ask for the lamb shank as that is my husbands favorite dish. The same goes for escargot. They can get it but it helps if they know ahead of time that you are going to ask for it. This is also true in any of the other specialty restaurants, BTW.  You can order from the MDR when dining in the other restaurants as well.  I sometimes order the mushroom soup when dining in the CK or  Giovannis, for example.
